Actor Siddhant Karick has defended Om Raut's film in the wake of criticism directed towards the Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and saif ali khan blockbuster Adipurush. In the film, Vibhishan was portrayed by Karick. In a recent interview, Siddhant Karick described how, while seeing Adipurush for the first time, he went to a theatre where he saw a 10-year-old kid performing. He appeared to be enjoying the time of his life, Siddhant remarked in reference to the occurrence. And it suddenly dawned on me that this is a movie that children really must watch to get intimately familiar with our epics and legends, as reported by E-Times.

Siddhant continued to defend the film by saying that it is time to showcase our mythical tales in a pop culture setting. He continued by saying that it is important to teach children that real gods are "cooler and more complex than fictional superheroes." "I see my nephews, as well as some of my adult acquaintances, sporting superhero T-shirts that feature mostly made-up characters like Spiderman and Superman. And here, in our own ithihas (history), are superheroes and mythical deities whose tales and representations are still preserved in written form, Siddhant remarked.

To pass on the legends of our Gods to the next generation of our children and to demonstrate to them that they are cooler and more complex than fictitious superheroes, we must use pop culture wisely. I'm not advocating that we avoid Western superheroes. Not at all, but it's time we focused on our own Gods and told these tales in the superhero lingo that today's kids are accustomed to, the actor continued.
